We had our wedding reception at Dolce Norwalk a little over a week ago and it was perfect! The venue coordinator, Hazel, was a dream to work with. Very responsive and professional. She made planning a wedding reception extremely easy! We used all of Dolce's preferred vendors and each one worked out great. The venue itself is beautiful. All of our guests commented on what a wonderful and unique venue it was and enjoyed the grounds and the amenities that Dolce offers. I highly recommend this venue for weddings and any other events!

If you are looking for an amazing venue with delicious food, friendly and attentive staff, that delivers the wedding of your dreams then Dolce Norwalk is the place for you. We had our wedding there on 10/9 and I would go back and have that day over and over again if I could. Even though the rain kept my ceremony from being outside as originally planned, Hazel and her amazing team were able to bring my dreams to life inside while making sure I was stress free and enjoying every moment. There is not on thing I would have changed about my experience with them or the day they helped me create!

Dolce was not my original venue but when the Cobbs Mill Inn unexpectedly closed 9 weeks before my date they came in to save the day. It turned out to be better than I ever could have imagined. The grounds are gorgeous for photos with several options for ceremony sites, the food was impressive, they have very nice onsite accommodations and offer a buffet breakfast the next day.

The entire staff is wonderful but I must single out catering manager, Hazel Scudder, who coordinated everything for the day and she is an absolute pro. I had nothing to worry about and they day ran perfectly with her in charge.

The food and the venue were everything a bride (and her guests) could want. Hazel was AMAZING and the evening and festivities occurred without any drama! Scott and Marco in the beverage department and the chef (I forgot his name -- sorry) were EXCELLENT to work with. Thank you!!!! I would recommend them HIGHLY!!! We used the hotel and bar facilities as well as the banquet room and breakfast the next morning. Everything was FANTASTIC!!!!

Having my entire wedding weekend at the Dolce Norwalk was the best decision I ever made. The entire year and a half leading up to the wedding from the large room block to the 3 parties of over 150 people, planning was seamless thanks to Hazel Scudder. She was incredibly organized, easy to work with, personable, flexible, and truly made our weekend perfect. The staff throughout the weekend was incredibly accommodating particularly Patricia, who made sure the weekend itself was seamless, low stress and amazing. The grounds at the Dolce are gorgeous and made for an incredibly beautiful and fun filled weekend for all of our guests. The rooms are pristine. The food at each event was more delicious than the next. There is something for everyone at the dolce. From Bocce, to Tennis, to Pool, to Basketball, to walking trails, the enormous bar and incredible staff…I can’t say enough. I just wish I could spend every weekend at the Dolce! Special thanks again to Hazel for being so incredible, professional and organized.

We had our wedding reception at Dolce. It is a great choice! Dolce is a secluded countryside hotel. There is a pond with bridge and fountain which is a perfect venue to take photos. The cocktail and the reception rooms are elegantly decorated. The catering manager, Hazel, is so nice and helpful. She also makes sure that my husband and I eat something during the reception. My guests who stayed at Dolce liked the hotel room and service.

I can't say enough good things about Hazel and this venue. From start to finish, planning with Hazel was extremely easy and everything was perfect. I received many comments from guests on how wonderful the food was and what a beautiful venue Dolce is. All of the servers and bartenders were super nice and checked in to make sure everything was going well. Even the breakfast the next morning was great! Would not have changed a single thing. I can honestly say the quality of my wedding surpassed even my expectations - A++!!! Thank you!!

Dolce provided a top-level experience in every department for our wedding. The grounds are pastoral and tranquil. All of our guests could not believe that a place like this exists in a such a convenient location. It is a great kept secret. I cannot even begin to say enough about how helpful Hazel was from the beginning of our planning right through the reception. She alone is a reason to have your wedding at Dolce. The ceremony was beautifully positioned right at their special tree on the hill. All of our requests were carried out to a tee. Food was delicious and freshly prepared. You need to see this place in action to believe it. I really do not believe that you can find a better venue with the value for your money and total package. Guest rooms are comfortable and peaceful. You will be very impressed since they do everything right.

There aren't enough words to convey just how awesome and amazing our wedding at Dolce Norwalk was. We still have friends and family telling us that our wedding was the best they've ever been to.
Hazel was beyond amazing at handling any questions or concerns I had - big or small, and even coordinated with a past bride to get us an arch for our ceremony so we would not have to pay extra to rent one. She kept everything running efficiently and everyone loved her - she also made sure my husband and I ate our meals - something a lot of places don't do!
We had a personal server for our sweetheart table that took such good care of us. I was not able to finish my entire dinner and the kitchen graciously heated it up and had it brought down to our suite for me when the reception was over. Allyson was there and ready to handle whatever request we had.
The venue itself was beautiful. We were supposed to have an outdoor ceremony but due to rain had to be moved inside. Hazel worked with us the week of to find a "Plan B" location we really loved, and her and her team gave us until the last possible second to make a call on indoor/outdoor (ceremony at 5:30 we decided at 4:30). The setup of the event space with all our decorations and personal touches was absolutely perfect as well.
To top it off, the food was amazing. Guests are still raving about it - from our tasting, to cocktail hour, to dinner we never had one food item that didn't blow us away.
Dolce Norwalk also coordinated our rehearsal dinner (an outdoor BBQ which is very much our style) and accommodated us with s'mores for friends and family by a fire pit as a welcome event for the weekend.
You get so much for what you pay for and it's not only because Dolce Norwalk is a well run event space but because they truly treat every bride and groom (and their guests) as if they are family.
